am I the only one?

I agree with Floyd that you can`t eat what isn`t there.

When I was doing a school paper, I had an insane urge for chocolate chips.  WHICH I had in the house.  Prior to surgery I had never known a craving to go away until it was satisfied.  BUT I resisted.  The minute the paper was done the craving went away.  I was amazed.  I outlasted it !!!  Then I took the chips to my sisters, where they are too far away for me to hear their siren song.

It helps me to ask myself `'who do I want to be, a chocolate chip chewer or a slim person', or 'did you have body altering surgery to eat THAT ???' or 'if God gave you a choice between being slim and eating that, which would you chose?'.

Everyone is different, finding the solution to this temptation is the skill that will keep you slim long term.

I am only 2 months out and am hearing the call of carbs, cookies and chocolate. I am resisting so far but it is a daily struggle. You not in this alone. 

Thank you all so much! Its such a relief to know Im not alone in my struggle. I really like the idea of cooking the chicken and leaving it in the fridge for a snack!! I think Im going to have to get rid of my crackers as I seem to want them all the time i stead of just a few here and there.

 

Thanks again everyone!! Merry Christmas!!

Well my reply is to onmom because I am one of " the other friends" and I would tell her if I was struggling. People have different struggles, for me it's not eating enough! I am extremely athletic and have a mental block in eating to my caloric requirements. ( don't want regain brain)
Nikki was just looking to see if others had any helpful hints to overcome thus stage of HER process. Not a lecture slap on the wrist. This forum is for help not spankings.
